Our Learn and Play exercise for this week is all about Pod casting, another subject I thought would intimidate me. But, after scanning the directories and listening to some of the feeds, it seems fun and simple. I subscribed to a feed called "Reel Reviews" movies worth seeing. It highlights obscure movies that don't always get a big Hollywood following. I can use it for "movie advisory" as people ask for recommendations. There are also many sites for book reviews. I am going to listen to some about teen books, as this is my weakest area. I think that this could be a great tool for the library. It could be used to broadcast news about programs, book reviews, and tutorials about things on our website. There was a children's storytelling cast I listened to, and I think that here at Dublin, we could do a better job! I was also excited that there seem to be simple ways to create your own podcast...maybe I can even do it.
